Ugly scenes after the final whistle involving, I think, all 22 players just about summed up a very frustrating afternoon for the Swans team and supporters. An extremely poor refereeing performance contributed to the ill-disciplined shown by both sides. The instigator of the trouble seemed to be the smallest player on the pitch, the Raynes Park goalkeeper, who had already got away with what should have been at least a yellow card and probably a penalty when making an extremely aggressive challenge in the back of Alvin Sarmiento late in the game. Swans lost this game to a side who just humped the ball upfield at every opportunity but also worked their socks off pressing and harrying all over the pitch and allowing Swans no time or space to get their game going.
35 mins in a combination of poor defending and poor refereeing cost Swans dearly. A blatant push went unpunished but Swans should have cleared the ball anyway.
Three minutes into the second-half a terrific move sent Tyreke Leslie away down the right wing. He cut in and hit a tremendous shot into the back of the net from the edge of the area.
Five minutes later Raynes Park regained the lead when an iindirect freekick well inside the area was hammered home.
On 79 minutes No. 3 for Raynes Park: a free kick headed back across goal and nodded in by the freakishly tall Raynes Park centre half.
Just after that Swans were reduced to nine when Anderson Rene Pinto was dismissed for some obscure reason, Felix already having been sent to the sidelines after being sinbinned. Goal No. 4 went in soon after.
